Lucy Hale Pens Powerful Letter of Rage Against the Hacker Who Leaked Her Nude Photos

Infuriating news this morning: Lucy Hale is the latest celebrity victim of a nude photo hack.

At least two revealing private photos of the Pretty Little Liars star were stolen from her phone and posted on a pornographic website Wednesday. The pictures (which I will NOT be linking to, obvs) were screenshots of a text conversation in which Lucy shared a topless pic to show off her ribcage tattoo, as well as a photo in which she wore a black camisole that revealed her breasts.Gossip Cop reports that the photos remain online despite threats of legal action from Lucy's attorney.

When Lucy learned of the leak, she took to Twitter to blast the hacker and condemn what is clearly a disturbing trend.

"Once again, a woman in the public eye was violated, stolen from and her private life and body were exposed for anyone to see," she wrote of the many celebs — from Ashley Benson to Jennifer Lawrence — whose intimate photos have been hacked. (To be clear, though, male stars aren't immune, as Justin Bieber can attest.)

And in case there's any confusion, Lucy wants everyone to know she's angry, not embarrassed. "I will not apologize for living my life and having a personal life that is all mine," she wrote.

She concluded the letter by expressing appreciation for her compassionate fans.

"Thank you for all the sweet, supportive messages I've been receiving," she wrote. "lt was a much needed reminder that I'm surrounded by so much love."
